Eligibility: All area youth are invited to participate in basketball at St. Martin's. However, there are size limits to our program. Out of all applications received on the two registration days, priority will be given to:
Attention Catholic Youth: One of the primary purposes of CYO is the spiritual development of Catholic youth. In keeping with this purpose, all Catholic children wishing to play basketball must be enrolled in a religious education program. If you are enrolled in a religious education program in another parish, a letter confirming registration from that religious education director must be turned in to the Athletic Director by September 30. We cannot accept registration forms for Catholic children that are not enrolled in religious education.
Children who register for religious education at St.
Martin's also must regularly attend classes.
If these
children also participate in CYO basketball, then they may be
suspended from playing CYO basketball.
Our program requires that all
Catholics provide proof of registration for religious education.
Our parish enforces
this at annual registration ... and our parish will enforce this throughout
the CYO season. Thus, any excessive, unexcused absences by CYO participants from St. Martin's
religious education classes may result in removal from the CYO program
until attendance improves and work is made-up.
Travel: St. Martin's has traditionally fielded travel basketball
teams at each grade level in grades 5 through 8 for boys, and
combined teams in 5th-6th & 7th-8th
grades for girls.
Children from neighboring parishes are eligible if their parish does
not have a travel basketball program.
In addition to the above requirements, if tryouts reveal that there are not enough parishioner players
to field a particular travel team, then non-parishioners (up to 3 per
team per county rules) may be contacted to help form a team.

| Instructional | $40 | $55 |
| Boys 3-4 Intramurals | $65 | $85 |
| Boys 5-6 Intramurals | $75 | $95 |

Players are selected through try-outs and must be either parishioners or as indicated under Eligibility. Notification usually takes place in the week following the tryouts. Team rosters are typically 10-11 players. Players that do not make a travel team usually play in the intramural program and must attend the player evaluations on Saturday, October 3.
